A paradoxical/philosophical question:

  After you're dead and gone, are there things* you did while alive that you wouldn't want to be discovered, or does none of that matter to you because once you're dead you're dead?

*You are NOT being asked to name those things specifically, just whether or not something exists that would better remain undiscovered. Thank you.

    I think even being alive it is good to be aware of and own up to our shortcomings because for better or worse we do have them.  Not that we need to broadcast them far and wide as I sometimes do on here but just that its best to be honest with ourselves and others about them and not try to hide them or cover them up.

    There are a few things. Like those 27 email addresses of various women all over the world. And their photos.

      I thought there were 37 of them? Wow, you've downsized.

    Sometimes family members find out things that should have been buried with the person who died. I don't really have any deep, dark secrets, but if I did, I wouldn't want to upset or burden my loved ones with them after I'm dead.

  • Yes. 
    There are things I would prefer they stayed covered. Not for me. Like you say, I'll be dead anyway. But for those behind.
    Good question. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 19, 2018 9:19 AM MDT

     (If you don't mind, I'll wait a good long time after you're gone before I start telling all I know anout you. I might get paid millions.)

  • Yes. There are a few things I did which I shouldn't have. And there are a few I did and am glad to have done. Better to keep both types under the lid. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 19, 2018 9:29 AM MDT

      Say that again, in fact, keep saying it.  The whispering turns me on.

      My ears are extremely touch-sensitive, and I love having attention paid to them.
